When was last oil change or was oil level ok .. etc.
If it were mine, I'd pull the cover off and a bo-peep down into the timing chain to confirm no errant happenings in there .. and stuff like that.
Hi run this one and it's very good watch Netflix and YouTube etc

I’m not the most mechanically minded, I started by getting an iso adapter kit from aeropro, one of my mates suggested using make-a-bracket which I did and am ever so grateful for the advice, I’ll post a couple of photos I remembered to take, I basically made a u bracket and forced it between the air vents and the dash, can’t seem to add then the reply I’ll make another post tomorrow with the in bits viewsQuote:

Think it is advantageous off road with the roof rack etc. to be able see 'above' the roof when backing as well - The Alpine units allow selectable areas of view, top bottom left and right.

The front and side camera are going down low on the front bull bar (for minor protection against grit wear, gotten a sheet of smartphone screen protector) - giving me a low left and right view.
As an adjunct was going to purchase the Alpine cameras but at $150+ each they are a little pricy when getting three. Turns out you can use other cameras as long as they all operate the same NTSC or PAL (the initial view camera determines the units choice of system to be able to display)
There is also for your unit an accessory controller which I am a bit jealous of, the

So satisfying to fit the SLS back today and two inch spacers, really is a simple refit and the whole thing was done in less than an hour including the Bilsteins. The nanocom was a boon to slowly inflate the bags to check for integrity and no leaks it would appear. Still waiting on fitting the Ashcroft ATB which is in Singapore, delayed again, so couldn't inflate it fully.
Think the hardest thing was finding where they had put the air line which they had tucked up, lock tied and covered with about 10 layers of tape.
Ohh there was a electrical connector hanging off just below the rear fuel filter which didn't seem to have a home. This is not the height sensor, they have been raised with the lift, connected and providing inputs to SLABS. The connector is the other side of the wheel
This is what I had with cold start, not sure if thats in spec with out having a google.Quote:

What ever it is has gone nothing today, oil levels were fine but I did a full service as it was all most due.

Relief valve opening pressure is 58psi .. and your gauge is right on the money!Quote:

That is, the fuel in the injector is pressurised by the cam to 22 or 25 K psi.
So if, say, one had a bit of air, it can clackety clack in a similar manner.
When we had injector seals leaking and causing shut down issues, after a priming routine, the injector(s) made this clackety noise as it properly purged itself of air(for a few seconds) and finally settling down to a smoother idle.
But every time it did that(or we had to do this routine) it came with greyish smoke which would disappear when the idle smoothed out.
You mentioned "first start in a long time". Do you turn ignition on first, to prime the fuel system a bit with a few secs of fuel pump running .. and then hit the starter, or directly to the starter?
Thanks, yeah, I did let it prime up all the way. I think the knocking was the top end, so I guess injector related. There has always been a faint knock sometimes once all warmed up. The injector seals were meant to have been done by the previous owner via a shop, but who knows, I have found all sorts of things not done right since I took it. Maybe the injectors are just poorly adjusted when re-fitting. I am yet to take the cover off.Quote:
